They actually look really nice. It's like what I think it would look in the 70s for a futuristic design. Even the sound :)

[@blackking7512]

Mta wants to have 31 sets in service by August 2024.

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

Meaning of that, the majority of the R44s and R46s will be retired by 2025

[@josiahdabotYT]

that’s amazing

[@leecornwell5632]

It depends on how the R211As R211Ts are doing and running properly with no foolishness and no issues. How ever they are definitely gonna keep some R46S on the open cut just like they did the R32S. Don't count the R46S out yet.

[@railfannerjs6308]

@@leecornwell5632it makes no sense though bc they drive properly and maintain service still. I still keep mentioning the same point, which will never get proven to the company itself, how they don’t let machinery die out instead of letting it work it’s time
But then again, if it gets to a level where most of them die at the same time, in the process of using what still works, that’s more trains to tow and delays.

[@geecorona1311]

The A line runs 38 trains. The C line runs only 18. If they are keeping the R179 fleet. I know there are 13 R179 trains on the A line. 11 (8-Car) R179 trains on the C line. So basically the A line would only be able to run 25 R211 trains and the C would be able to run only 7 R211 trains

Those R211 Propulsions tho

[@geecorona1311]

Have you noticed that the propulsion be having the sound of an R32 type of propulsion mixed in when it accelerates and de-accelerates?

80 cars so far in revenue, 500-1000+ to go

[@davidng2336]

I think one set has platform displays now. Unless it was turned off again.
